Check out that six-game roadtrip in March. Habs, Wings, Devils, Flyers, Sens, and then the Habs again! That’s fifteen days on the road between Canada, the midwest, Jersey, and then back to Canada– with tough competition!

On the flip side, the Caps have what looks like friendly end to their season coming. No loafing, boys. You know how that’s burned us in the past.

Twice this season the Caps will play the Panthers in back-to-back games– each time jumping from home to away or vice versa.

The Caps will meet their rivals, The Pittsburgh Penguins, for the first time on December 23rd. And then a whopping eight days later for the Winter Classic. Way to build up the suspense, guys.

Whatever. We could consider everything until April 10th a preamble to the playoffs, but that’s not fair. We’ve got a tough schedule of 82 games designed to wear the Caps down. It’s a challenge: a gauntlet thrown down by the National Hockey League itself.

Bring it on.

What do you think of the schedule? Did we miss anything? Sound off below.
